Sounds of the Holiday Season
Glacier Symphony to perform European and American holiday classics during POPS! concerts on Dec. 17 and 18
When you think of the hol- idays, speci cally the Christmas season, do visions of sugarplums dance in your head? Is there
a desire to seek out chest-
nuts roasting on an open
re, or the urge to repeat
“Let it snow!” when there’s simply no place to go?
Holiday music is a major part of the season’s culture, setting the tone and the background for many activities and family gatherings. It’s so powerful that
the holidays are one of the only times of year when most radio stations completely change up their format to include songs from previous decades.
The talented musicians at the Glacier Symphony understand the yearning for these merry and bright
songs, and plan to bring a whole slate of them to the stage on Dec. 17 and 18 for the Holiday POPS! concert. Both shows will take place at Flathead High School’s Per- formance Hall.
